Cancer is a disease characterized by the uncontrollable division of abnormal cells. This division can start in almost any part of the body, and may spread to surrounding areas via the blood (rakta vaha srotas) and lymph (rasa vaha srotas). In many types of cancer, these rapidly dividing cells accumulate and form a mass or tumor. In Ayurveda, Cancer is a tridoshic disorder provoked by toxins (ama), with Kapha primarily involved in the formation and growth of a tumor.
